Andy Whitcroft b0917c3169 readlinkat: ensure we return ENOENT for the empty pathname for normal lookups ... commit 1fa1e7f615 upstream. Since the commit below which added O_PATH support to the *at() calls, the error return for readlink/readlinkat for the empty pathname has switched from ENOENT to EINVAL: commit 65cfc67223 Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Sun Mar 13 15:56:26 2011 -0400 readlinkat(), fchownat() and fstatat() with empty relative pathnames This is both unexpected for userspace and makes readlink/readlinkat inconsistant with all other interfaces; and inconsistant with our stated return for these pathnames. As the readlinkat call does not have a flags parameter we cannot use the AT_EMPTY_PATH approach used in the other calls. Therefore expose whether the original path is infact entry via a new user_path_at_empty() path lookup function. Use this to determine whether to default to EINVAL or ENOENT for failures.
